After a while, Qin Di said: "The steel mill I am going to build will be relatively large. Mr. Gu, if possible, I would like to meet with Liu Wenhui, the provincial chairman, can you please introduce me?"

Gu Han raised his eyebrows and said, "Chairman Liu inspected the defense of the whole Sichuan, and I don't know where I went. It would probably take two or three months for him to come and inspect the place. Mr. Qin, how long can you stay here?"

"In that case, I'll write a letter to Chairman Liu, and I'll trouble you to hand it over when the time comes, is that okay?"

"Well, that's easy. ”

Subsequently, everyone ate and drank, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

One of the regiment leaders always lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Yan Xue more.

Gu Han looked at his niece Gu Ruomei and sighed lightly: "If you want to say that our Gu family, the smartest person is your father, but his mind is spent on piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he refuses to do practical things related to the economy and people's livelihood." What's the use of you, like your father, who are obsessed with learning the piano and spending so much energy?"

Gu Ruomei smiled: "Second uncle, I'm a girl, it's useless to tell me these things." There's my brother at home. ”

Gu Han said: "Hmph, your brother is even more of a piano idiot, and he is about to become a fool!"

Qin Di smiled and said: "Mr. Gu, if current events have not changed, a hundred years later, it may not be the boss of the Gu family, nor Mr. Gu, but Amei's father." Pragmatic and pragmatic, each has its own merits, no matter how great the power can be wiped out, and no matter how much family property may fall apart. ”

Gu Han couldn't help frowning when he heard this, obviously didn't like this statement, and said lightly: "What will happen in a hundred years, who knows what will happen? ”

"This is a great change unseen in a thousand years, all families tend to disappear, and ordinary people are gradually rising, which has nothing to do with whether the Gu family works hard or not. ”

Gu Han asked rhetorically, "What about the Qin family, can it hold on?"

Qin Di smiled: "The same is true of the Qin family, after a few years, there may only be a little Qingyu left." After all, my mother found several antibiotics and won the prize of foreigners. As for myself, I was already nameless, and I will not be much better in the future. ”

Gu Han fell into silence, eating vegetables while pondering, and after a long while, he suddenly put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "I understand what you mean, it turns out that you are not optimistic about the Qingbai Party!"

Qin Di waved his hand and said, "I am an idler, I only talk about mundane affairs, not state affairs." ”

After the banquet, Qin Di wrote a letter and asked Gu Han to forward it to Liu Wenhui.

The letter said that the Qin family wanted to open a factory in Sichuan and set up a large-scale enterprise, and asked Chairman Liu to take more care of it, and the Qin family was willing to donate 200,000 oceans every year in addition to paying taxes as usual.

For Qin Di, 200,000 oceans, less than 100,000 US dollars, is really a drizzle, as long as Liu Wenhui is bought, the resistance can be greatly reduced.

He deposited a total of $70 million in Citibank and Morgan Chase, or $2.1 million a year at the 1930 rate of 3 percent on Treasury bonds.

In addition to these two banks, the Qin family also deposited eight million US dollars in Standard Chartered Bank, HSBC, and UBS, and five million oceans in the Bank of China, which can not be spent in cash alone, not to mention that Cathay Pacific Pharmaceutical has a lot of income every month, a steady stream of foreign patent authorizations, and then the promotion of streptomycin, which is also a profitable business......

It stands to reason that in addition to Liu Wenhui, the warlords in Sichuan also include Liu Xiang, Yang Sen, Deng Xihou and others. However, Liu Xiang died early, and died of illness not long after the Anti-Japanese War in 1938. Yang Sen's forces were mainly in the area of Chongqing in eastern Sichuan. Deng Xihou fought against the Great Red Army in southern Sichuan. West Sichuan is still in charge of Liu Wenhui.

Qin Di inspected Dukou City for three days, and then took a boat with everyone and went down the river to return to the magic capital.

When he passed through Changsha, he met Gu Rumei's father Gu Jun and brother Gu Rutang.

Gu Jun is in his early forties, with a clear appearance, wearing a long shirt and gold-rimmed glasses, and he looks like a scholar.

Gu Rutang is two years older than Gu Rumei, young, in his prime, and teaches at the Teachers College.

Both of them are good at the piano, and they must play a song for Qin Di.

Qin Di played "The Song of the Mountain House" to them, and everyone was fascinated by it, and it took a long time to wake up.

Gu Jun was amazed: "Mr. Qin, listening to your tune, it's like having a dream, as if I am in the mountains and forests, the mountains are the screens, the clear streams are the belts, the heaven and the earth are the houses, the plants and trees are the clothes, the pillow flows the stones, wandering in the meantime, the mountains, the moon and the river breeze, the birds cry and the flowers fall, there is a feeling of enlightenment!"

Gu Rutang said: "Sir, I was also confused just now, and I couldn't write down the score, it's a pity." ”

Qin Di said to Gu Rumei: "Bring a pen and paper!"

Gu Rumei hurriedly ran over to get a pen and paper.

Qin Di wrote down the song and handed it to Gu Rutang: "With your strength, you can't play this song for the time being." Maybe it will take 30 years before you can play it reluctantly. ”

Gu Rutang didn't believe it, and tried to play it twice, but he could only play a short section each time.

He racked his brains and couldn't understand, "How can this be?"

The third time, he plucked it hard, and the string broke with a "bang"!

Gu Rutang was stunned for a long time, and said to Qin Di: "Sir, what you said is right, I really can't play it." But I don't know, can I be like Amei and worship you as a teacher?"

Qin Di shook his head and said, "Don't hide it, your character and heart are very good, but you lack the qualifications to cultivate. Amei doesn't work as hard as you, but her qualifications are better than yours. ”

Gu Jun was puzzled, and asked tentatively: "What kind of qualifications?" In my eyes, there is no difference between these brothers and sisters. ”

Qin Di smiled: "It's hard to say. Next year, you'll know the difference between the two. ”

He took Rumei as an apprentice, of course, not blindly, because she not only has the root of the earth spirit, but also the half-formed "qin heart", which is very strange and can only appear in the guqin family. Just like the treasure jade in the dream of the Red Mansion, the children of the guqin family listen to the qin in their mother's womb, and there is a certain chance that the heart of the qin will be born.

Although Gu Rutang and Gu Rumei are brother and sister, he does not have a heart and no earth spirit root.

The spiritual root and the heart of the qin are both godsends, just like the rare.

Because of this, Qin Di received very few apprentices.

If you talk about the earth spirit root alone, Gu Rumei and Gu Ruhu's qualifications are not too good, Gu Ruhu's qualifications are probably eighth-grade spiritual roots, and Gu Rumei is seventh-grade spiritual roots, these two are not as good as Yan Xue, Yan Xue's qualifications are stronger than them, but they are fourth-grade water and wood spiritual roots, which are very rare in this place where spiritual energy is lacking.

For cultivators, spiritual roots are important, but they are not the only element of success.

When Qin Di entered the cultivation sect in his previous life, his spiritual root was not very good, and in the end, he also cultivated to become an immortal emperor.

He looked at the lost Gu Rutang and said, "I'll pass on to you a mantra for cultivating qi, as long as you practice every day, your piano skills will be greatly improved." ”

Then, he wrote a mantra suitable for mortal cultivation and handed it over.

Gu Rutang bowed down and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

Qin Di led everyone to visit Yuelu Mountain and Orange Island before leaving Changsha.
